Tafsir
And of the Bedouins there is he who takes what he expends in the way of God as a penalty as a liability and a financial loss because he does not aspire to be rewarded for it but expends it out of fear these were Banū Asad and Banū Ghatafān; and awaits for you evil turns of fortune the fortunes of time for you that these should turn against you and so be rid of you. Theirs shall be the evil read as al-sū‘ or al-saw‘ turn of fortune that is chastisement and destruction shall turn on them not on you. And God is Hearer of the sayings of His servants Knower of their actions.
